The golden weaver

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Orb weaver spider

One of the most common spiders, mostly tiny ones, could be seen along the walking area, along the wild shrubs that had popped up during the monsoon session. With the location and the early morning light, these webs would display a precious sheen, almost mimicking a golden hue and the spiders themselves, ode to the tiny size, would shimmer as the pendant.

The light has given a nice golden glow, the net is kind of shining. Is there one spider or more? Maybe a narrower aperture would have been nice. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. I was under the impression that the white balance was changed. Why f5?

Cheers,

The lighting wasnt too bright, due to the smog all around and wanted to capture the spider and the golden sheen without bumping the ISO
